Yes Im the same, but in this day and age it wouldnt be politically correct not to have one.

What a waste of time and resource
If you don’t like this news or don’t care why even come into a thread like this. Why can’t people just not like something and keep it moving. Why go into a thread knowing people are happy and excited about this news just to say something mean, negative, kinda misogynistic, and just bitter. Nobody forcing you to interact with this thread, nobody’s making you watch the games. Let people be happy about this. I’m excited for this and I’ll absolutely watch the games if I can.
Yeah, you really could have used those few bits of bandwidth much more wisely.
Great news. Hope they show the games on MUTV. I'll support anyone who is dedicated enough, talented enough and passionate enough to pull on a Manchester United jersey and represent the club, with pride, at any level.
Wait, what's up with people thinking we're doing this for political/business/etc reasons.
United's way - giving chances to the "academy" young players, and giving back to the fans who care (among many other values).

I think it's good to have a women's team and women should be able to play football just the same as men. But we should not try to compare the level of football between men and women because I'm not sure most people here realize how big the difference is. Top women national and club teams sometimes play against schoolboys for training and experience – and lose. You really have to let the women play their own way and not compare them to men. See it as a separate sport, if you like, and appreciate them for giving it all on the pitch for their club and country, just like men.
Well there must be money to be made.

Oh, they care.
If you genuinely don't care, you don't feel the urge to comment.
Well, unless you're a WUM, that is. Which some of these people may be, I suppose. That would be their only saving «grace», I might add.
Thanks a man, that's impressive although we've lost out a bit. Excited for the women's team.
The US women's team have been beat numerous times by club academies as well.I know, that's amazing when you think about it like that.
Yes I was aware, but I'm sure that the US ladies are above that standard but it's a pointless argument because it can't be put to the test. I wish it would though as if the women beat a men's side then maybe they would be respected a bit more.
Golf is a prime example and soon we will see many women finish higher on the leaderboard than men. It's taken a long time for women golfers to earn such respect and it seems it will be the same in football.
What do you mean can't be put to the test? Is them losing to u15s academy teams not putting it to the test?
They are not better than Conference sides. They can't compete against men and there is no problem with that. Men and women are different and it doesn't devalue women's football. We don't need to pretend like they could compete against professional level men's teams though.
You better explain 2. Carefully, you were doing so well too.
The thing that makes me happy about this is hopefully now Ill see something new regarding womens football on my twitter timeline, its normally flooded by BBC reporting on Citys female team. And that I couldnt give a stuff about because its City.
Also its one less stick to beat United with that we dont have a womens team.

Did you just really came to this thread to post this useless message?
I personally don't watch women football, the club will probably not get any profit from it anytime soon but it's not about that, it's about giving something back to your city and these people who ARE interested in it. Imagine having such a huge organisation like Manchester United in your city and they don't do anything unless they get profit from it...They see it as the club caving into 'political correctness' a oppose to a pathway for girls and women who support United, to represent United at a professional level. Hence the low level passive defensiveness. Its really eating away at them.
Sure.

You're right, I'm imagining the fact women's football gets discussed so little on here. I now conclude the joy expressed on this thread is completely genuine.
Anyone who thinks people's interest in the game starts and ends with making sure people see them champion a United women's team is way off the mark. Must be all those white text threads about the Super League this season, huh? Having a football team will be a great thing for female fans, especially little girls. What the sport needs though are real fans not men who pretend to cheerlead a sport they pay no attention to outside of identified opportunities to be seen to cheerlead it.
Hope the team is allowed to find its own fan base and not just half-hearted adopters simply because it has the name Manchester United attached. Not sure the "I love women's football me, I watch all three games every four years" lot should centre themselves in its establishment - though I fear they will. Fantastic opportunity to significantly increase the fan base but for all the fanfare I think it's going to be a delicate operation to get right.

Great news. Ed is already on the move for Ada Hegerberg.
If anybody is interested in applying the head coach and assistant coach jobs are being advertised on our website.

This'll probably be the best chance for me to see an American footballer (outfield player anyway) play for United...unless we sign Pulisic that is.
Winning the champions league 7 times in a row should be enough thenIf anybody is interested in applying the head coach and assistant coach jobs are being advertised on our website.

Congratz to the Manchester United girls u16 side who won their League yesterday
Hopefully we will be accepted into the league so these girls have something to aim for and why shouldn't they.
I'd like to think it's a given that they'll be accepted as any League is stronger having Manchester United in it.
Will you be putting your name forward for trials for the Ladies team for next season ?
Adds nothing to the discussion
I can't muster any enthusiasm for this, womens football is like comedy hour.
Was so pleased to hear we were adding a womans team again. Now my little girl can grow up dreaming of playing for United like her dad, her uncle and her grandad.
Yeah, on average the quality is really comparable.
I'm all for it but don't know why we got them to play against WBA today.
You do know you don't have to comment?
Well feck off out of the thread then..
Can't wait for the ladies football team to be up and running. I reckon they will be better to watch than the shitfest being served by Mourinho

Fantastic appointment. Alway's felt she was the driving force behind Phil Neville's early success.
